RAIN MESSENGER
What if we design new experiences of rain? The short experiment asks whether natural rainfalls in the city can create temporary encounter spaces for passers-by. For this purpose, the city lighting on suitable areas could be replaced by projectors. The shown prototype consists of threads simulating the rain combined with a generative light projection. My interest in this experiment lies in exploring new forms of interactions with natural phenomena.

The prototype is a result of a 3 day workshop with Designer Thomas Castro on »subversive communication channels« from the ArtEZ Graphic Design Department, Arnhem/NL. Concept and Design: Annette Schmid, Lea Pürling, Leonie Langer and Antonia Rodriguez.
